Taking amoxicillan for itchy hands and feet. Any suggestion?
Answered by
It seems that you have allergy to the antibiotic (Amoxicillin) you are taking. Stop taking the drug the notice the change that if itching occur or not?
Meanwhile to get rid from the itching and redness:
1. Take anti-histamine drug like Cetirizine.
2. Apply calamine lotion or other cream to the area.
3. Do Ice fermentation of the infected area.
Please consult your treating doctor before consuming the next dose of the antibiotic. You have to find out the cause for the itching which may need reviewing your treatment. The itching and redness may be due to other allergic causes like soap or dust. Protect yourself from the allergens and keep yourself in good hygienic condition.
Hope this will help you.
Best Wishes and get well soon.

MD Hi, I have a problem with my ear. It all started with simple sneezing that made both of my ears itchy inside. The itchiness goes down from my ears (inside) to my throat. Sometimes I feel like my throat is dry and the sides of lips itch too. I've tried consulting an EENT doctor, she said my ear drum was inflammed, so she recommended that I take an anti-histamine tablet. The generic name was Ceterizine. I've been taking that tablet for like 3 weeks now. The itching stops though but I don't think I'm completely healed. What could be the problem? I'm really worried right now that it might be a fungal infection, I don't want fungus/bacterium eat my tissues inside! What do I need to do?
